Bake the pastry sheets for 15 minutes in the oven until nicely puffed up and golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely

Add the oil to a pan and set over a low heat. When hot, add the shallots, garlic and rosemary and cook gently until the shallots are translucent and soft

To assemble the dish, carefully make 2 horizontal cuts through each puff pastry sheet so you have 3 thin layers per sheet, allowing you to form 5 or 6 layers for each mille feuille
8
Lay the bottom sheet on a plate, then spoon over some of the mushroom filling. Pour over some chocolate sauce, then lay the second pastry sheet on top. Add more mushrooms, then sauce, and another sheet of pastry, until you have 5–6 layers. Repeat with the second plate
9
Spoon some sauce around the plates and scatter some chives over the mille feuille. Finish with a dash of olive oil and some rosemary leaves
